Guest Post–Love Love Love

Hola!! 

Well we are in Mexico at this point,  spending the day at “Salsa and Salsas” and then off to our rehearsal dinner!  (btw any creepers, our house isn’t empty, it has friends saying as well as a 95 pound pitbull…  just saying )

I met Kirstina the other day via my facebook page and we immediately hit it off and exchanged about 100 emails!!  She’s a lovely person and as you’ll see SO beautiful and I was so excited when she agreed to do the Valentine’s Day post! 

I hope you enjoy!!  Stay tuned tomorrow, (WEDDING DAY!!) there may be a sneak peak of my dress popping up here!!

Hello DFB followers:) I'm Kristina from Life as Kristina a blog showcasing my life as a fitness junkie, food lover, bride to be, and everything in between!

The beautiful Jess and I connected a few days ago and swapped messages regarding all things wedding. After the zillion messages we shot back and forth we both agreed that all weddings have glitches, but in the end-you're marrying your best friend (insert your awwwwwww's here). 

Jess asked me to write a guest post for Valentines Day (while she's away getting MARRIED)...of course I said yes-this is Dairy Free Betty we're talking about!

It's Valentines day...so you have to expect some kind of mushiness in a guest post coming from someone who is getting married in t-3 months...prepare yourself.

What should you look for in a Valentine????

Someone who understands your wants…

 

and needs...

is always there to be concerned about the free food your well being...

Can always make you laugh...

Respects your lifestyle...

And it's always a bonus if they're willing to put a ring on it!

I hope you are all having a great Valentines Day!!! We all know Jess is basking in Wedding Bliss.

I’m not sure about the rest of you but I will be patiently waiting to stalk her wedding pictures….and see her in her gorgeous dress (I got a sneak peak).

Have a great day and check out my giveaway-one day left!

I am honored to guest post for Jessica while she is getting married and enjoying the sunny beaches of Mexico! Congrats, again, Jessica! So happy for you and excited to hear about all the details!

First I'm sharing my recipe for a great energy snack I make all the time, then showing the special adaptation I made just for Valentines Day and for Jessica!

Of my many no bake energy ball recipes, and this is the most popular at our house:

peanut butter chocolate ball

1 cup peanut butter 1/2 to 3/4 cup millet puffs 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Combine peanut butter and cocoa until blended; add puffs. You may need to mix and adjust, mix and adjust. I added more peanut butter after I started rolling – they do stick together.

Makes 20 one inch balls, with some sampling as you go. Store in refrigerator.

For Valentines, for friends getting married, for a Saturday afternoon, I made this recipe into a tasty treat.

Instead of shaping into bite size pieces, simply flatten the mixture into a pan -

I used a 9x9 square. Melt a package of vegan marshmallows -

I used Sweet Sara chocolate peppermint

YUM! Spread the melted marshmallows over the top, refrigerate to set.

The chewy top with mild peppermint flavor is a perfect marriage with the nutty chocolate base. Thank you again,

Jessica for having me here while you are in Mexico! I wish you and David the best!
